Overall Climate toward Christianity in Central Asia:
For believers living in these countries including our people, there continues to be many challenges because of ongoing oppression by the local governments and pressure from the ‘majority’ population. This is why prayer is so important.

Ministry Updates

June 2020
The number of Covid-19 cases are growing rapidly in our countries and with kids not being able to go to school and many people have lost jobs, it is causing a chaos in communities where we serve, and this is right now the biggest challenge.

The countries where we are working are going through the peak time of Covid-19, but the plans are in place for training more leaders in both countries.

We are planning for an online session of trainings in August with different groups but the work is in progress.

Zoom and other social medias are a blessing.
